Twitch’s president, Dan Clancy, who has been at the company since 2019, will take on the role of CEO with immediate effect.
Emmett Scheer, chief executive officer of Amazon.com Inc-owned Twitch, said Thursday he would resign from the role after more than 16 years at the live video streaming company.
Shire said in a blog post that Twitch President Dan Clancy, who has been at the company since 2019, will take on the role of CEO effective immediately, adding that he will remain on as an advisor.
“In October 2006 we started working on live video for the Internet. He became Twitch. After more than 16 years, I am now a father and ready to move on to the next phase of my life,” Shearer tweeted.
Shearer co-founded the live streaming platform Justin TV, which became Twitch in 2011 and became increasingly popular in the gaming community. Three years later, it was acquired by Amazon for just under $1 billion.
